Just checking into His Presence...

Please read John's story.

Testimony Time:-Good day to you all and welcome to His Grace. I pray for the guidance of the Lord to sustain each and every one in Jesus name. Amen Thanking God for His preservation upon us and the excellent turn out during our 4th Adult Harvest Celebrations. The whole event has been highly successful for His Name Sake. Today, I am now fully back into the fullness of checking in into His Presence and I will begin with a story as shared by my uncle. Please take time to read till the end. You will know the reason at the end of the story and this is how the parable begins. "Let me call him John. John had a double story house with five plus five rooms. One day there was a gentle knock on the front door. When John opened, it was the Lord Jesus. “Please come in”, John pleaded, “I will give you the best room in my house – it is upstairs. Well, Jesus is a gentleman and said “thank you”. The next morning someone hammered against the front door. When John opened it, who was there? The devil. “No” shouted John, “I don’t want you here” But the devil said “I’m already in” – and a big fight started and Satan poured filthy temptation on him which was horrible. By the evening, John somehow got the victory and threw the devil out. Then he said “wait a minute”. I gave Jesus the best room in the house, why didn’t he come to my rescue?” Jesus said to John “Look, you gave me one of the ten rooms…” John was on his knees and said “I can see my mistake. Sorry, Lord. Let’s make it 50/50.” Jesus who is a gentleman accepted the request. The next day was a repeat of the day before. Somehow the devil got in and out and John was totally exhausted. “Why didn’t Jesus come to my rescue today? I need to go and ask.” The Lord said “My son, why don’t you give me all 10 rooms and then, instead of me staying with you, you stay with me?” John broke down. He pulled the key of the front-door from his pocket and handed it to Jesus. Now, he had given Him all. The next morning, it was still dark, when someone was knocking at the front door so hard that the whole building shook. John jumped, frightened and shaken out of bed, crying “O, it’s the devil again”, when suddenly he heard footsteps – but this time the footsteps were from inside the house. Jesus was marching in majesty and power towards the front door. He had the keys to the whole house. His duty was now to answer the door very carefully. John was now wondering what would happen and stood right behind Jesus. When the Lord opened the door wide. Who was it? The devil of course. But when the devil saw Jesus standing in the door, he bowed low, very low indeed, and said “Sorry Sir, I knocked on the wrong door!” Some have given 9 rooms to Jesus and on the door of room number 10 they have written “Strictly Private”. It is there where they have their secret sins and live their double life. But Jesus cannot be cheated. C’mon. Let’s sing it together from the bottom of our hearts. “Unto Jesus I surrender, unto Him I freely give….I surrender ALL, unto thee my God and Savior, I surrender all.” This is my foolproof recipe for victory in the Year 2015! Does it speak to you? God bless you abundantly in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...
